Crimes across Surrey have been featured on a national television show.

BBC's Crimewatch Roadshow was broadcast live from the county on Thursday (July 3), with detectives appealing for help with a series of unsolved cases as well as demonstrating how they keep Surrey safe.

He struck twice in Waller Lane, Caterham - once on May 12, when he assaulted a 17-year-old schoolgirl, and again on May 20, when he attacked a 20-year-old woman.

His third victim was a 15-year-old schoolgirl in Searchwood Road, Warlingham, on May 20.

An armed robbery at the Ali Raj Restaurant in Newdigate at around 9.20pm on April 1 was also featured on the show, along with details of a woman being robbed of her high-value jewellery outside a property in Virginia Water during the early hours of October 3 last year.

There was also an appeal for more information about a wallet theft in Ottershaw on April 1, plus details about the Operation Leek crackdown on Class A drug dealers in west Surrey and north-east Hampshire.

The show will also broadcast live on Friday (July 4) and feature an appeal for information about four recent arson attacks in the Reigate and Horley area.

Officers believe it is linked to three other blazes, which occurred at 4am at the Old Reigatian Rugby Club in Park Lane on June 28, at 2.30am on June 26 at the Churchfields Bowls Club in Church Walk, Reigate, and at the Horley Lawn Tennis Club in Vicarage Lane in the early hours of June 22.

Detective Chief Inspector Antony Archibald, who will be interviewed live from Redhill on Friday (July 4) about the attacks, said: “We have worked with BBC Crimewatch on a number of occasions with some excellent results.

“Officers and staff have been working with the show for a number of months putting together reconstructions and appeals for crimes which we need help solving.

“This is also an excellent opportunity for us to give members of the public a look at what goes on behind the scenes at Surrey Police and how we keep the community safe.”

Crimewatch Roadshow is broadcast at 9.15am on Thursday (July 3) and Friday (July 4) and will be available on BBC iPlayer for 24 hours after transmission.
